Abstrakt		In the present article we try to show that community based self-help groups for elderly people can be considered an effective and useful approach in nursing care due to their positive impact on the elderly people's quality of life. Mechanisms of this impact are presented, as well as the concept of quality of life. On the basis of the described prospective study it was found out that community-based self-help groups positively affect the general estimation of the quality of life, as well as the perception of social relationships (the qualitative aspect of social contacts), of social participation (the quantitative aspect of social contacts) and the elderly people satisfaction with their health status. The impact of self help group on the frequency of diseases, satisfaction with sight and hearing and satisfaction with their financial state have not been proved. The validity of our conclusions remains limited due to the identified methodological shortcomings of our study.
Izvleček		V prispevku želimo pokazati, da so skupine starih za samopomoč v zdravstveni negi v lokalni skupnosti koristna in uporabna metoda dela oziroma pristop, ki pozitivno vpliva na kakovost življenja vanjo vključenih starostnikov. Predstavljamo mehanizem delovanja skupine starih za samopomoč in koncept kakovosti življenja. Opisujemo izvedeno prospektivno raziskavo, temelječo na anketnem vprašalniku. Na njeni osnovi ugotavljamo, da skupina starih za samopomoč v lokalni skupnosti pozitivno vpliva na splošno oceno kakovosti življenja, pozitivno vpliva na zaznavanje socialnih odnosov (kvalitativni vidik socialnih stikov) in socialnega vključevanja (kvantitativni vidik socialnih stikov) ter na zadovoljstvo starostnikov z lastnim zdravjem. Pozitivnega vpliva na število bolezni nismo uspeli dokazati, prav tako skupina ne vpliva na zadovoljstvo s sluhom in vidorn ter s finančnim stanjem. V razpravi predstavljmno svojo interpretacijo ugotovitev. Veljavnost naših zaključkov je zaradi nekaterih metodoloških ovir omejena.
